Wow, Create beauty from the ruins. Your poem proved to be an inspiration for me today, since I was feeling quite a low. Thanks.Now Surely I will resume creating my canvas of beauty. Smiles..!!Monika..check out my collection of poetry too.(rationalsensualities.blogspot.com)Thanks!!

Thank you Suki.......I needed to read this poem today of all days. Thank you for your wise reminder, about being the artists of our lives. With you permission, I'd like to publish the poem on my own blog.

Thanks for stopping by my memoir, Suki. I love the pure simplicity of your poem and how you've structured it, delineating the metaphor and recasting it. The rose window is a compelling image for me. xxxj

re getting into blog - when I first copied the poem it had a huge bunch of code when I looked at it on html - didn't know what it meant, but it made the post impossible to post, so I deleted it altogether, and recopied the poem in a simple text file, then put that into my blog. You might check the html of your post, see what it there.
